The judge quoted George Washington who asked in his Farewell Address, "Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths in courts of justice?"

Well, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, hurry up and get yourself the heck outta there......we are ready and waiting for Edith.

Liberals call Judge Jones the "Horsewoman of the Right Wing Apocalypse." She's extremely conservative but not a likely candidate to replace O'Connor because she wrote an opinion affirming a death penalty conviction where the defendant's lawyer slept during trial. It wasn't nearly as bad as it sounds, but that opinion has followed her ever since.

"The first 100 years of American lawyers were trained on Blackstone, who wrote that: 'The law of nature . dictated by God himself . is binding . in all counties and at all times; no human laws are of any validity if contrary to this; and such of them as are valid derive all force and all their authority . from this original.' The Framers created a government of limited power with this understanding of the rule of law - that it was dependent on transcendent religious obligation," said Jones.

Good grief, put this woman on SCOTUS.

Thank you for posting this. I knew who Judge Jones was. However, I did not have a clear index of her thinking. Now I do. And I have a high respect for her thinking. Thank you, and thank Jim Robinson for making it possible.

The more she says, the more I like her. Unfortunately, the more I am convinced she'd never be confirmed too.

very nice. I'd like to see a full transcript of the speech. Not quite as good as Janice Rogers Brown's:

I'm just amazed that she has a degree from UT. How did she turn out this way?

The link to this article is dead. Can you provide another one? Thanks!

bump for later.

Amazing that this sort of thing happened at Harvard. Possibly the leftists would have objected if only they could have understood it.

[Fido969]

Oh, yes, yes.

Fianlly had the guts to say what everyone KNOWS.

[markedman]

Sadly, in accordance with the theme of speech, because of her ability to speak the truth she will likely be denied a well earned place on the high court. It would be nice however to see her tangle with Kennedy, Leahy and Schumer.

[clamper1797]

Yes it is ... and it's time to throw it out and start over... say with the original intent constitution. I would also tar and feather ANYONE who would advocate anymore idiotic and unconstitutional freedom stealing nanny laws

[Dead Corpse]

What's her stance on the Second Amendment?

[Loyal Buckeye]

The law is what the courts want to make it.
